David's Daily Devotion for Dec. 22

December 22, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, December 22.

As a student of the Bible, wouldn’t you be thrilled to have the chance to sit down with a Bible character and interview them? What would you ask Moses? What questions would you have for Paul? This morning we focus on a man who may very well have had just such an opportunity. Today we look at Luke.

David’s Daily Devotion for Dec. 19

December 19, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, December 19.

We conclude our week of carol stories with a tale you probably know well - but never tire of hearing. Even though we’ve heard the nativity stories in the Gospels of Luke and Matthew countless times, they never cease to inspire our spirits. And even though we’ve sung today’s carol every Christmas of our lives, it always manages to bless our hearts. I hope that this familiar story is a blessing to you this morning - the story of “Silent Night”.

David’s Daily Devotion for Dec. 17

December 17, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, December 17.

We continue, this morning, with our Christmas series, and with our focus on stories behind the carols. Today’s choice is one of my all-time favorites, and is, hands down, the most difficult carol to sing. It has a vocal range equal to our National Anthem, another notoriously challenging song. Today, our featured carol is “O Holy Night”.

Do you memorize scripture? Memorization, in general, is a powerful mental discipline. Memorization of scripture is a powerful spiritual discipline. And after all, the Bible commands us to “hide its words in our hearts”. Everybody has at least some verses by memory - passages like The Lord’s Prayer and The 23rd Psalm, for instance. There’s another passage that we all know, as well, and that’s the Nativity story from Luke Chapter 2.

December 15, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, December 15.

This week, in our Christmas series, we’ll focus on stories behind some of our favorite carols. Christmas songs are near and dear to our hearts, particularly the ones that remind us of the reason for the season. And they grow even dearer, when we know the circumstances behind their writing. Here’s a story behind a beloved carol.

David’s Daily Devotional for December 10

December 10, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, December 10.

Thanks for joining us in our holiday series that will lead to Christmas Eve. At the center of this special season is the Nativity Story found in the Gospel of Luke. That word “gospel” means “good news,” and today we take a look at the Bible characters who were the first to hear the good news from Bethlehem - the shepherds.
